Bishop resigns as Steamboat Springs Middle School principal

Steamboat Springs  Tim Bishop has announced his resignation as principal of Steamboat Springs Middle School.

The Steamboat Springs School Board is expected to accept Bishop’s resignation at its meeting at 5:30 p.m. Monday at the district office, 325 Seventh St. Bishop’s resignation is effective with the end of his contract June 30.

Bishop, 44, said it was time for him to move in a new direction and said he expects to decide in the coming weeks on his next career step.

“I’ve been blessed to have several options to consider, with the success we’ve had in the last several years,” Bishop said. “I always want to stay fresh, sharp and challenged, and now feels like the right time to do something new.”

Steamboat Springs School District Superintendent Brad Meeks said the school district would begin working next week to identify Bishop’s replacement.
